Information Age Town thrust back in spotlight

THE people of Ennis are no strangers to the national limelight after it was named as Ireland’s Information Age Town five years ago.

However, its selection as one of nine hub towns is a huge boost. One of the main reasons was its proximity to Limerick and Galway cities, 23 miles and 42 miles away respectively. Being just 15 miles from Shannon Airport was also a key factor in its selection.

But one of the major hopes is that the town can attract major investment, which has eluded the banks of the River Fergus up to now.
